I was overwhelmed, frustrated, and feeling like a complete outsider in my own home. I tried everything — and nothing seemed to work. The constant tension with my stepkids and even with my partner was taking a toll on me. But when I found Nacho Kids Academy, everything changed. Lori and David’s guidance helped me understand that I didn’t have to control everything. I learned to step back, take a breath, and let go of things that weren’t my responsibility. The method taught me how to respond instead of react, and I finally started to find peace in my role as a stepparent. I’ve gone from feeling resentful and exhausted to calm, confident, and in control of my emotions. My relationship with my partner has improved drastically, and my home is no longer filled with constant conflict. The support inside the academy has been a lifeline. The resources, Q&A calls, and community have made me feel seen and understood. If you’re a stepparent struggling to find your place, stop searching — Nacho Kids Academy is what you need. It’s not just a method; it’s a life-changer." - Lucy R., Nacho Kids Academy Member
